From the article on the charity event: "The high point is the Stones gig at the Beacon, being organized by movie producer Steve Bing and filmed by Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese."


It was reported (either here or elsewhere) that Scorsese was at the MSG show observing the proceedings for a future project w/the Stones so I guess this is it.

what good is it if the real fans are banned

I for one will enjoy seeing a Stones film directed by Scorsese.

Oh, my, now THIS will get the rumor mill churning -- a Stones' version of "The Last Waltz"?

The Last Waltz was an event with the fans...This sounds nothing like the Waltz.

P.S. Mom/Dad & about 3 friends of the family were all at the Waltz...wish they'd taken me...but I was 9 months old.

scorsese for several years has been colaborating/feeding with the 'stones' for a rock n roll film... old news

Good point - just look how cool it made Days of Our Lives.

....thanks,, as ive mentioned before, that song is near the top of the heep..
thoughful and accurate post beelyboy, hopefully scorsese has sobered up some and will put away the meat clever, i sure hope so, the dylan cook out wasnt eatable ... and what a curve ball, for this is a guy who brought us artistic sound tracks and painted great pictures with casino and goodfellows among other works....
at one point several years ago, the rumor was he was extracting 'stones' information for a fictional 'rock' film,, with jagger sittin at the main table... but aint that why we have switches on the railroad tracks,, its so easy ta change directions......

Dont you think the video footage from Love is Strong would be good for streets of love? They should have saved that concept (hindsight is 20/20)


I didn't see the trailer for the new film. Which song did they use?

oh yeah, that's the one they filmed partly in Boston I believe.

Cool!

Can that song cast a mood or what!! Gives me the chills EVERY TIME!!!

Beeley, I thought you were going to email me a song.

outta here for now - have a good night.

I must agree with Beelyboy about Scorcese's relationship to or depth of connection to rock 'n' roll...Levon Hel writes from his own perspective about
"Last Waltz" in his autobiography, and I think a crucial problem was his utter lack of comprehension of Richard Manuel (both in the 1976 present and his role in the Band historically), and since shots of musicians inevitably will reveal something about their characters (even security cameras), but it was mostly his infatuation (or coke bond) with Robertson as singular auteur...And tho I like the Band a LOT and the LW in several performances there's something precious about the whole project, something that had crept into the Band perhaps as well but wasnt there on the 60s collaborations with Bob, or Hawkins by any stretch, and thankfully both Rock Of Ages & Before the Flood had their genuine rock 'n' roll spirit intact...Also re his Dylan film, the way performance footage was edited was annoying and the way Marty restated (through emphasis, words of others, whatever) truisms we've all heard about Bob as if they were epiphanies was annoying to me as well.

I just looked it up. I don't remember this but it won a Grammy that year for best short form music video. It was great, i'm glad it won. Not even because it's the Stones, it's just very very cool.

Cean Chaffin (video producer), David Fincher (video director) & The Rolling Stones for "Love is Strong"

You know what, I like that video for cold hearted snake. It's pretty sexy. It's like an orgy with all good looking people. ok, that song is a guilty pleasure of mine, i have to admit.

It's actually in my iTunes, hehehehe.


Did you see Boondock Saints, it's one of my favorite movies. I love it.

ok, now I really have to go, tell me about BD Saints though!

yeah but if they do it now its at least 30 years to late

Hope Frank Vincent is in it

There's always been the rumour floating
around that Mick and Scorcese were
going to make a movie/doco on the life
and times of Robert Johnson.....



ROCKMAN

Scorsese is actually planning (as of June) to do a whole documentery on the Stones as the go around teh states again. From what I was told, nothing was set in Stone at the time, but they were close to reaching some kind of deal..

You guys are nuts, NO DIRECTION HOME was fantastic. The LARS footage was used as a motif to show how far he would end up from where he began. It's a documentary not a concert film. (Having said that I think Demme has raised the bar.)

I just saw No Direction Home again this weekend, on a huge screen in nyc. It hung together better than I recalled, though I still thought it was overrated--draggy in the first half, when scorsese is falling for liam clancy the same way he did for robbie robertson. It does tell a story, though. But like Glam says, it's not a concert film.

FWIW, Beely, that's not scorsese doing the interviews with dylan, but one of bob's staff. In fact the interviews were done before scorsese got involved with the project.

The '66 footage is incredible. And it's in so much better quality than--at least my version of--Eat the Document.

What did you think of scorsese reading out dylan's speech for the tom paine award?

>like taking candy from babies...
one born every minute.


Whatever. To be fair I can't bring myself to read your posts in their entirety. Proper sentence construction with adequate punctuation is becoming a lost art.
